Summary
Not just another clone!
The Good
An online turn-based strategy card game, rings a bell doesn't it? one might turn to think of Magic the Gathering and other clone spawned games of that style...
Well think again! playing this game will immediately prove otherwise, for this game is unique, it oozes originality and creativity.
The first thing to note about Astral Tournament is how the game sucks you in the second you load it, and doesn't let go, you can easily lose yourself while playing and 'wake up' a good few hours later wondering why its so late.
Its the atmosphere, the astral surrounding matched with brilliant sound effects, splendid combination that takes you away from your reality and into the astral planes of your imagination, you find yourself cheering your creatures, planing complex strategies just praying your opponent wont realize them too soon, and gripping your chair in despair as such a strategy falls upon you with mercy.
Climbing your way up the high ranks of the astral internet community is not an easy task indeed, it takes experience, skill, persistence and will power.
And indeed a great community it is. one that started with a tiny amount of players before the game even had internet multiplayer, writing the the game forums, begging the developers to administer internet multi-play, which happened on the 1.2 version to everyone's delight, and thats when the community started to grow, and now you can always find people to play with, any day any time, you will always find players waiting for you, lurking, hungry for your experience points!
As you play the game, get to know all the cards, you start to form your own strategies, your favorite moves and card combinations, as all other players do, thats why every game is unique and every battle is a different experience of its own, you play with all sort of players and the battles can take endless kind of twists and turns.
The Bad
Well... let me think about that for a second.
*5 minutes*... *15 minutes*... *2 hours*...
NEXT!
The Bottom Line
What are you waiting for? go get it!
